Food Pantry
Waikiki Community Center's emergency food pantry program is committed to addressing food insecurity and supporting those in need. Our program is part of the Hawaii Foodbank agency partnership. WCC has seen hunger and nutrition deficiency among its fixed-income seniors and ALICE families with young children as the cost of living has continued to increase. The Center is currently finalizing plans to build a commercial kitchen to increase our capacity to address not just hunger but nutrition insecurity by providing fresh, healthy food to the community.
